The current trend is to develop novel sustainable composite materials to enhance their properties for use in wider range of applications. With an emphasis on SDG 9, SDG 11 and SDG 12, academicians and industrialists have intensified R&D on sustainable composite materials for use in myriad applications such as construction, membrane technology, water purification and energy capture. This book aims to provide comprehensive understanding of fundamentals, properties and applications of sustainable composite materials. The book, comprising of 21 chapters, promises to be highly beneficial for academicians and early career researchers working in the field of sustainable composite materials.
